Chapter 4
It was a long and tedious meeting, and Bob had explained almost everything.
They had no idea who exactly ordered what happened to happen… just that Yuuri and Shori were the intended targets and that they knew they were half-demons.
After the incident happened, Bob and his followers were all scrambling about to cover it up and make it so everybody outside their inner circle was completely unaware that it was anything other than a kitchen accident gone bad.
Yuuri had nodded most of the time, trying to keep a calm expression, and Shori was relieved he seemed to be taking it so well and understandingly… like a true leader. What Wolfram saw, however, was not Yuuri at peace.
He saw Yuuri's fingers twitching every few minutes like he wanted to get up and run away. He saw the occasional lip tremble that indicated he was holding in tears. He saw his lover trying to be strong and that attempt tearing him up inside.
Wolfram hesitated before laying his hand over Yuuri's gently on the armrest. Yuuri's head snapped to the side, not expecting but definitely not rejecting the gesture.
"Yuuri, are you okay?" Wolfram whispered.
Bob and Shori became silent when they noticed Wolfram looking deeply into Yuuri's eyes that were starting to water. He choked in a breath of air as he tried to calm down.
"Yes…" Wolfram kneeled and looked at Yuuri's face from a more even level as he sat in his chair. "N-No… no I'm not… I'm not okay Wolf. I'm not okay a-at all!" Yuuri couldn't lie any more than he could keep in tears when someone was there to support him.
Yuuri completely forgot about the other two in the room as his double-black needed comfort and began to shed tears as his lip trembled. Wolfram leaned partially on the chair as he wrapped his arms around Yuuri's back and held him in the most comforting hug he could manage.
"Yuuri, I don't know what they've said, and I can't pretend to, but it's going to be okay."
Yuuri gave in and threw his arms around Wolfram as well, crying softly on his shoulder. Shori and Bob both suddenly felt absolutely awful for not realizing the boy's discomfort. They hesitatingly left so as not to intrude further on their moment. Shori hesitated longer than Bob. He was dragged out muttering about PDA and Yuuri being too young to hug people 'like that.'
Wolfram looked at Yuuri and gently wiped his tears away. It broke his heart to see Yuuri so upset, but without knowing exactly what the other two said he couldn't be angry with them. Nope, that would be impulsive and stupid. Can't do that.
"Yuuri, if they hurt you I'm going to kill them." Yuuri choked on a small laugh as Wolfram spoke with a serious tone and continued to wipe the tears off of his face.
"No killing Wolf, you promised." His fiancé sighed in defeat and Yuuri suddenly frowned. "Wolf… why are you crying?" Wolfram blinked in confusion before lifting a hand to his face and realizing his eyes were wet as well. He shook his head.
"I guess I just don't like seeing you hurt Yuuri, I care about you too much… I love you." Wolfram gave him a genuine smile, one that made his heart melt.
"I love you too… thank you." For the next two minutes they held each other silently, their movements speaking more than they could have in words.
Outside the office, Bob was having trouble keeping Shori from walking back into his office and 'demanding that succubus release his innocent brother.'
"Yuuri…" Shori's eyebrow had a tick in it "are you suggesting I let her sleep in your room with you? Please tell me you aren't." Yuuri tilted his head in confusion.
"Why not?" Shori frowned.
"Because it's indecent? Because you're still in high school? Because I worry about your innocence?!" His voice rose with every reason he thought would have been obvious. "I know you said you were together, but what about back in Shin Makoku? What would everybody think of the idea of you sleeping in the same room with you? What would your daughter think?" Yuuri blinked in confusion and Shori momentarily thought he had won.
"But I never sleep without Wolf Shori; I thought I told you before that I can't sleep without someone else in bed with me." Shori stared at him in confusion before gaping.
"You mean to tell me that you sleep with THAT, every night, without a single inappropriate thought or intention?!" Yuuri nodded and Shori rolled his eyes in disbelief. "And I suppose you're going to tell me to believe that your daughter and everyone else knows about this?"
"Yes. Greta sleeps with us too sometimes. Now if you don't mind, I'm tired and I don't see a good reason for you to stop me now." Yuuri took Wolfram's hand which made him stop staring at the glowing fish tank in the hotel lobby. "Come on, we're going to bed." Wolfram pouted.
"But Yuuri, those fish were so strange! I wanted to look at them!"
Yuuri rolled his eyes and continued walking with a smile. Wolfram was just downright adorable sometimes.
"We can look at them tomorrow kiddo." Wolfram's face turned bright red.
"HEY! I'm older than you, and don't tell me you weren't fascinated with Kohis and dragons, because I know you were!"
"Yes, but those are fish Wolfram. You have fish."
"Not above the water living like that!" Wolfram pouted. "They're so colorful… I wanna feed them." He mumbled making Yuuri struggle to hold in laughter.
"Woah… these are really soft! This is what you call an inn here?" Wolfram was holding a small pillow and walking around the room, looking at the paintings and decorations.
"We call it a hotel, but yes." The blonde watched Yuuri curiously as he sat on the edge of the large bed and picked up a small box. He seemed to poke something on the box and suddenly a larger box behind Wolfram flashed and started to make noise.
"Yuuri! Get down!" Wolfram reached for his (once more, not there) sword, and grasped at air.
"Wolf, please don't attack the TV. I want to check the news." He grabbed Wolfram's arm and pulled him to sit on the bed next to him, the latter still stunned by the small moving people. "It's supposed to do that."
Wolfram tilted his head and Yuuri smiled at his confusion, it was simply adorable on him.
"But Yuuri, what are they saying? I can't-" Yuuri pulled Wolfram from the side and lay his head in his lap.
"Shhh, I'm trying to listen." Yuuri threaded his hands through Wolfram's hair as he tried to concentrate on the weather and such. Wolfram pouted but silently agreed… it felt good.
Sorry for the short chappy, but the next chapter… well it's going to be longer and it's going to be the first lemon of the story ^ ^ AWAIT IT MY MINIONS!
I am in mourning. Someone I have known for a very, very long time… someone I held near and dear to me has died. Been cut down in its youth at the mere age of 15. I love you my treehouse, you will never be forgotten. TT_TT
Go on, laugh. I'm serious though. Mourning a childhood memory of building a treehouse with your grandfather after drawing it on a paper wishing for one, that's something you don't forget. It had to be taken down the other day because the tree was falling over. You know what probably the saddest part is?
My granddaddy sent me the 'welcome' sign I made for it when I was about 8 in the mail. I nearly cried.
In other news, my little sister elbowed me in the esophagus and I couldn't breathe for a full five seconds. I thought I was going to die, and I'm sure I'm going to get a bruise…
Seishin No Za Tsuki: Give. Me. Measurements. No joke.
Luvdawinx: Lol, I'm the derpiest regarding sports. I'm stupid... sorta.
Wallflower: Ulrike... it's like she's wearing an octopus on her head. A very hairy octopus. Maybe if she didn't wear it up she would be like Cousin It from the Addams Family... maybe.
And yeah, it's like angst... sorta. Hope you're enjoying/enjoyed the hotel. Fun stuff.
Merilwen-Vendethiel: omnomnomnomnom
Guest: Yes, Yuuri should. He might not, but he should.
